Meanwhile, in America, a drug manufacturer sold tainted eye-drops that killed and seriously maimed people, and not one exec has faced consequences. There’s barely been any media scrutiny, just boilerplate articles that refuse to name names or even attempt to explain what the fuck went wrong. As for the FDA, I’ve given up on them. They’re fucking useless.
I’m against the death penalty, but at the same time I can’t stand lib orgs like Amnesty who screech about how DYsTOPiAn the death penalty is in China when we have the exact same system here in the States except worse because it targets poor and non-white people exclusively.
You should repost this but instead of eyedrops compare it to the recent incident in 2021 when Abbott, the largest manufacturer of baby formula in the US, sold tainted formula that caused hundreds of infants to become ill and resulted in at least 9 confirmed infant deaths.
The US media didn’t say shit about the deaths and failed to mention that the FDA only discovered the issue from the findings of a CDC investigation of a string of infant deaths across the US. At least 9 infants died but none of the company leadership faced any criminal charges. Instead the CEO of Abbott received a 20 million dollar bonus that year.
“We now know that contrary to initial reports, nine babies who were fed Abbott powdered infant formula manufactured in their Sturgis, Michigan facility have died,” said Congresswoman DeLauro. This is heartbreaking and shameful. Many of these deaths could have likely been prevented if Abbott Nutrition and the FDA did not drag their feet to investigate credible allegations of substandard food safety practices at the plant. And what is deeply disturbing is the timeline in which these events unfolded.
"In February 2021, an entire year before the voluntary recall, Abbott and the FDA were alerted to allegations concerning problems at the Sturgis, Michigan manufacturing facility through a complaint filed by an employee. The problems included failing equipment in need of repair and formula released without adequate evidence that it was safe for consumption. Abbott confirmed receipt and submitted a formal response to the complaint two months later.
"Despite knowing this information, it was not until September 2021 that the FDA conducted a routine inspection of the facility and learned of the potential link between a specific rare and deadly foodborne pathogen and powdered infant formula manufactured by Abbott. At the same time, an infant in Minnesota given formula manufactured in Abbott’s Sturgis, Michigan facility was diagnosed with Cronobacter sakazakii. This was the first case reported
A lot of the Chinese international students at my college were like that. Might be a biased sample size, though. People who move to different countries are more likely to be partial to said countries.
idk the chinese group at my college was based. its a lot of people coming over for a lot of reasons tbh. also international students got a much cheaper rate and i was bewildered by that. feel like more kids in america need to be pressured to go abroad for education, seems way cheaper
international students got a much cheaper rate
Huh, really? I went to a public university and the international students paid the full out-of-state rate, which is like three or four times the in-state rate–gave the school a large incentive to attract international students.
Nooooo, you can’t just execute the people responsible for multiple infant deaths as if they were poor people
They should get house arrest, maybe a couple months of white collar prison. Then they can’t lobby for laws to be changed to make their actions technically legal.
Woah Woah, prison time? That’s way too draconian, a fine equal to 2% of their monthly profits should suffice.
A fine?! What is this? Soviet North Korean Gestapo? These people are job creators and those money you want to confiscate is their private property. No, the responsible and adult thing to do is to look forward and allow them to grow and learn from their mistakes, without wasting our time in petty grudges.
tobacco companies in China remove nitrosamines from their tobacco, while amerikan companies dont. this makes Chinese cigarettes considerably less carcinogenic than amerikan cigs
not that I don’t believe you, but do you have a source on this? I wanna save it for libs
this study shows the average nitrosamine concentration in Chinese cigarettes is 70 ng/cigarette, with the lowest at 10. this study shows that only 2 of the tested amerikan cigarettes contain less nitrosamines than the Chinese average, at 55 and 66 ng/cigarette. and there are 10 that exceed 300, with a high of 460! the most dangerous Chinese cigarette was at 261
The crimes of capital deserve capital punishment.
